chapter 7 : movie boy

It's been a week after I confessed to Andrew. Things did get a bit awkward between us but not to much, we didn't hang out that much or do anything we just texted each other. He says he still wants to talk to me more. That he was glad I trusted him with my feelings, so he just wanted me to trust him more. I don't know if we're like confirmed or not or just being friends.  But today we're going out to see a movie!

I'm pretending that this is like our first date, I was giggling in that moment had I thought about it. All I was wearing was some platform docs and shorts and a zipup hoodie. I made sure I didn't look bad for my first official date. Even though all we doing is going to a movie theater but that's still a date. Not even a date if he didn't officially like me. I was waiting for him to come out, as we both tried to not be awkward and cracked jokes.

After we got there we both had enough time to look around the mall since we had like half a hour until the movie starts. We enter and we look around, we went into this little stationary store that sold anime merchandise. Afterwards I had to go to bath and body works to smell everything. Then Sephora to use up all the perfume samples. We really just looked around and have fun. Another cute store that sold a lot of Sanrio stuff and like cute stuffed animals.

Then we ran to the movie theater to go see the movie, luckily we had five minutes before it started. We got a popcorn to share and I got some candy too. Andrew was just really having fun too. We headed into the movie theater and took so long getting to our seats. We finally got seated and I just sat and relaxed as we waited for the ads to be over to watch the movie. He's chowing down on the popcorn and I literally stopped him before we would run out.

Movie starts, all great, good movie. He tried to get touchy by his hand near mine. Half way through the movie he looked over at me and started staring at me.

" can I help you? " I chuckled.

" nothing.." he replied back and turned away with a smile.

I was enjoying the movie when he suddenly puts his arm around me and pushes me next to him. I was in shock when he did that. Everything happened too fast for me. I just sat there not knowing what to do and then he let go and tried to shrug it off with a cough. I couldn't help but chuckle. He looked at me like crazy and chuckled too. We both tried hard to not laugh. I was still watching the movie but he was just eating most of the pop corn.

It was almost the end of the movie and he looked pretty nervous whenever I quickly glanced at him. He took a deep breath and relaxed his shoulders.
He glanced at me again, suddenly he grabbed my hand and put it over the cup holders to make it look visible to us. I didn't even notice my hand moving cause I was so into the movie but then I felt something on my hand and I looked over and I let out a quiet gasp and looked at our hands holding. I looked away pretending not to notice. He chuckled a little bit but we held hands for a entire 10 minutes. Then he let go so he can empty the popcorn bucket.

I was so shocked, but happy and surprised at the same time. I almost blushed a little and tried to distract myself with the movie. But it kept getting into my mind about us holding hands and my heart flutter. May not seem much but meant so much to me. I was like basically just crushing on him so much. He just made me feel so happy, it was something that can't be put into words.

After the movie we got up from our seats and then he said to me,

" is it okay if I hold your hand.. I thought it would make you weird, I just wanted to see if it was okay with you." He said.

" sure-" I was flattered and surprised at the same time. That he wanted to hold my hand, and even asked... I was so flustered by that.  He held my hands and then we went down the stairs to the exit, after we went outside and the cool wind hit us, we were still holding hands and I looked over at him, he was trying to cover his face from blushing. I let out a chuckle while staring at him. I didn't want to be that person but I did take a picture  of us holding our hands.

On the ride home back he still held my hands. We got off and he wanted to walk me back to my house even though it was next door. I stopped mid way to tell him something.

" thanks for, coming with me. You really didn't have to do that." I said him.

" no problem, I'm really glad we got to spend more time with each other more." He replied back

" yeah, I'll see you tomorrow." I said back to him.

" wait." He suddenly said to me.

" yes?" I replied back with confusion.

" the answer is yes, I do like you back." He said while he grabbed both of my hands.

" really?.. it was obvious since we held hands but."

He looked at me and he pulled me towards him, then he leaned in and kissed me. I was in shock when he did that. But I didn't think anything of it. He pulled out and gave me a hug.

" I guess that makes us boyfriends." He said to me.

" yeah." I replied back to him.

After all of that I was just so surprised that he actually liked me back.
